Local Knowledge

What Hinsdale Homes Need From a Plumber

Hinsdale’s housing is a mix of eras on the same block. About 1 in 6 homes was built before 1940, and more than 4 in 10 went up after 1990, many of them where an older house used to stand. The median home here was built in 1981, but that number hides a wide range.

01

Historic Homes Around Robbins Park

The Robbins Park Historic District alone has 368 buildings on streets laid out in the 1860s and 1870s. Homes from that era often still have cast iron drains and clay sewer pipe, even after the kitchens and baths were redone. A camera inspection shows the condition of your line before you decide on a sewer repair.

02

New Builds on Old Sewer Connections

When a new home replaces an older one, the line to the street isn’t always replaced with it. A brand-new house can end up connected to an old clay lateral. If you have slow drains or a backup in a newer home, a camera look at the full line is the fastest way to find out why.

03

Heavy Rain and Basement Backups

In June 2021, a storm sent sewer water bubbling more than 5 feet high near County Line Road and Walnut Street, and one homeowner nearby had about 3 feet of water in a basement that had never flooded before. A sump pump with a battery backup and a backflow valve are the first lines of defense.

04

Protecting Finished Spaces From Hidden Leaks

In a home with plaster walls, custom tile and finished basements, a small leak can do a lot of damage before you see it. We find the leak and open as little as possible to fix it. If a pipe bursts in a winter freeze, we’re on call 24/7 for burst pipe repair.

Real Hinsdale Reviews

4.8 stars from 452 Google reviews for our Hinsdale office.

“Scott was an absolute pleasure to work with . He came to my home to inspect my sewage line and he explained everything to me throughly. He was clearly an expert and he showed me the line with a camera which was a game changer. I was able to see everything with my own two eyes instead of having to trust a technician telling me my line had to be replaced. In addition to educating me, Scott gave me tips and was genuinely a kind person who I felt like had my best interest in mind.”

“Michael and Jason did my water heater install. Two tankless on demand heaters. They arrived on time and prepared. Very knowledgeable and very professional. Did a very neat and clean installation. Answered all my questions. Finished when they said they would and cleaned up. This was a very satisfying experience with top quality install, and exceptionally courteous and professional installers.”

Common Questions

Plumbing Questions From Hinsdale Homeowners

It depends on the job.

It depends on the job. The main factors are what’s wrong, how hard it is to reach, the parts or materials needed and the age of your plumbing. Work behind plaster or custom tile can take more care than work in an open basement. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins, so you know the cost going in.

Call us any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays.

Start with the sewer line and the drains.

Start with the sewer line and the drains. Homes from that era often have clay sewer pipe and cast iron drains, and both wear out with age. A camera inspection shows the condition of your sewer line. Age alone doesn’t mean something is wrong, but an inspection lets you plan repairs instead of reacting to a backup.

It’s worth checking. If the builder reused the old line to the street, your new house may be connected to an older clay lateral.

It’s worth checking. If the builder reused the old line to the street, your new house may be connected to an older clay lateral. A camera inspection shows what’s there and whether it was replaced.

We plan the work around them.

We plan the work around them. We locate the problem before we open anything, protect floors and finishes while we work and open as little as possible. When a sewer line needs work under a finished yard, trenchless repair can often avoid digging up the landscaping.

Tank water heaters usually last somewhere around 8 to 12 years.

Tank water heaters usually last somewhere around 8 to 12 years. Rusty water, rumbling noises, a leak at the base or hot water that runs out faster than it used to all mean it’s time to have it checked. If you’re considering a tankless water heater, we can tell you whether your gas line and venting are ready for one.
